Temperature, humidity and salt mist
The lifetime effects of product exposure to such climate-related conditions as extreme temperatures, humidity changes or salt mist can be modelled using special chambers that allow for accelerated studies.
All of our chambers are equipped with sophisticated control equipment that can be programmed to simulate complex exposure cycles. Needless to say, testing at constant temperatures and humidity levels is also available. This flexibility permits testing in accordance with a wide variety of standards. Separate logging stations record the actual conditions inside the chambers. Printouts of raw data can be obtained.

A wide range of chambers enables us to subject items ranging in size from automobiles to small electronic devices to regulated temperature and humidity cycles.

Small climate chambers
The most extreme chambers can handle temperatures between -55˚C to +180˚C and humidities of 0–100%. Salt mist testing is most often performed with a 5% salt solution at a temperature of +35 ˚C.
